This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El coronel Ildefonso Puigdengolas Ponce de León (1876-1936) fue un veterano que luchó en Cuba y Marruecos y desarrolló su historial en el Cuerpo de Seguridad, institución policial de la Segunda República. Bien considerado por los políticos republicanos, fue nombrado gobernador militar de Badajoz, ciudad que fue tomada por las fuerzas sublevadas. Las verdaderas circunstancias de la caída de Badajoz han estado ocultas hasta hace muy poco por la prensa-propaganda de la época, que escondió y deformó lo que realmente sucedió. Del máximo responsable militar de la defensa de Badajoz no sabíamos casi nada y muchos de los datos que circulaban sobre él eran difusos y contradictorios. Este libro aporta información nueva sobre su vida y su personalidad, pero también desmiente falsedades vertidas sobre este militar y el que fue el episodio más importante de su carrera.

Desde estas coordenadas el letrado protagonizó un extenso 'cursus honorum' que culminó con su promoción a la Real Audiencia y al Consejo Supremo de Aragón. Como resultado de su experiencia en la judicatura de la más alta instancia compuso una vastísima obra de jurisprudencia doctrinal -Decisiones Sacrae Regiae Audientiae Valentinae-, publicada en tres volúmenes. La relevancia alcanzada por el magistrado no ha impedido que su biografía haya permanecido prácticamente inédita hasta el momento. En esta monografía se ofrece una caracterización de su personalidad desde un doble enfoque: el entorno personal, familiar y social del jurista es perfilado en la primera parte del trabajo, mientras la segunda se consagra al estudio de su carrera profesional.
